The county council is being called on to publish annual data on the number of disabled people it employs - and how much it pays them.

Three county councillors representing city wards - Lynn Denham, Mel Allcott and Richard Udall - have submitted a motion asking Worcestershire County Council for information on, among other things, the percentage of disabled employees within each pay quartile.

“To increase disabled people’s access to employment programmes and apprenticeships,” they say, “we request an increase in the scale, quality and awareness of supported employment programmes and supported internships and increase in the provision of tailored careers advice to disabled people.”

This and other motions will be voted on by a full meeting of the county council on Thursday, May 16.
